I’ve always had a problem formatting poems. I write them in my emails and then cut and paste them directly onto the admin page where you can write drafts. As long as the formatting doesn’t need updating after that, I’m usually pretty successful. If it does, I sometimes have to delete the whole thing and redo it.

Thanks. Sorry to hear you have issues too. When I’m on my laptop I always use the formatting option instead of visual. However, a lot of times I type things out on my cell. It never used to be a problem that they’ve changed the app. I wish they would just leave things alone

I love this. Loving “willfully” and “wildly” and with “passion.”
The end is my fav : “fall out of Gods mouth, into rapture.” I don’t know what the “fall out if God’s mouth means but I like the rapture at the end. Passionate and sexy poem 🙂

This is an epic, an epic ode to passion. I loved every line. This is why your work always gets a long thread of comments and mine generally gets crickets and tumbleweeds. This was a great one to wake up to this morning.

I also agree about the formatting issues on WP, they drive me crazy too.

hmmmm, yes (note spell check does not like this word!), great piece, as Jim Morrison hollered out “I’m going to love you until the stars fall from the skies for you and I.” With the pumping and soaring organ an guitar behind his voice. This is a gem of a poem, perhaps you should have put the Doors song as the end piece. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.

It is a great song. I love the music of that time ( when i was a teenager) and study it. I played in bands back then, when music was a way of life rather than a product, as it has been for so long. I am getting interested in this music again, as the youngsters are going back to a less capitalistic form of really exiting music, which I love.

Yes, I also listen to a lot of jazz, and classical music, especially 20th and 21st century music. Often listen to Indian ragas, Chinese music, African music folk music, but have never really gotten into country western though.

This is a very beautiful poem … you are now on the list of my most beloved poets … 😉 and I heard also your (extremely sweet) voice on soundcloud… it sounds full of tenderness, compassion, but there is also the premonition and attraction of a hidden depth… innocent naked and devote angels are dancing through the dark night of the soul, singing songs of orgiastic purity and heatbreaking gentleness in the praise of mystery of existence …they celebrate the infinite bliss and joy of love … now you have a new friend and fan in germany.
